Merge hotfix/gstack-ignore-gitmodules into develop

Move submodule.skills-external/gstack.ignore=dirty from per-clone .git/config into committed .gitmodules so all clones inherit it. Preserves the BLK-008 Playwright 1.61 bump (bun.lock+package.json stay dirty by design) — only the IGNORE moves, not the content. .gitmodules ignore verified honored standalone (git 2.53).

+## BDR-039 — Gitea branch protection = Option-1 owner-pushable, not require-PR
+- **date**: 2026-06-29
+- **status**: accepted
+- **decision**: Protect `main` + `develop` on every gitflow-migrated Gitea repo with **Option 1 (owner-pushable)**: `enable_push=true` + `enable_push_whitelist=true` + `push_whitelist_usernames=[owner]`. Blocks force-push, branch deletion, and pushes by non-owners — while letting the owner push their LOCAL gitflow merges directly. NOT require-PR / required-review.
+- **why**: gitflow integrates by **local directed merges** — `gitflow finish` runs `git merge --no-ff` on the owner's machine then pushes the merge commit. require-PR would REJECT those pushes: every feature/bugfix/release merge would need a manual PR, and the **hotfix fan-out** (hotfix → main + develop + each open `release/*`) becomes 3+ manual PRs per hotfix. For a solo-owner Gitea, required reviews add zero review value, only friction. Owner-pushable keeps the protection's real teeth (no force-push, no deletion, no non-owner push) without breaking the local-merge workflow. Protection is a BACKSTOP — the per-repo pre-commit hook + the "finish only on an explicit human signal" rule are the primary controls.
+- **alternatives**: require-PR + required reviews (rejected — breaks `gitflow finish`'s local merges; the 3-way hotfix fan-out becomes manual PRs; no review value for a solo owner, pure friction); no protection (rejected — leaves force-push + branch deletion + accidental non-owner push open; it is the deterministic backstop the advisory rules can't guarantee); protect `main` only (rejected — `develop` is equally a protected base in the model, needs the same force-push/deletion guard).
+- **reference**: `lib/gitflow-migrate.sh` `_protect()` (POST `/repos/{o}/{r}/branch_protections`, owner whitelist); applied to all 6 repos 2026-06-29 (journal). Hook backstop in `lib/gitflow.sh` (pre-commit); CLAUDE.md "Version control — gitflow (universal)". Pairs with [[LRN-069]] (the `git push` ASK gate at the tool-call layer).

 - **pattern**: a secrets-guard `Bash(export *)` in `permissions.deny` auto-denies ANY command whose FIRST token is `export …` — a false positive (`export GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0="Authorization: token $TOK" …` reads as blocked when only the `export` prefix tripped it, not the git/curl op). Correct model for token-authed remote writes from tool calls: (a) INLINE env assignment `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1 GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0=http.extraHeader GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0="Authorization: token $TOK" git push …` (no `export` keyword → passes; token rides the http header via git env-config, NEVER in argv nor written to the clone's `.git/config`); (b) keep `Bash(git push *)` on ASK (not deny) — that prompt IS the per-write human gate; don't suppress it, don't allow-list pushes in settings.
 - **context**: gitflow migration on Gitea. 3 consecutive tool-call denials traced to `Bash(export *)` (false positive); an earlier INLINE-env `ls-remote` passed; the user's own `!` shell ran the same `git push` fine (not under CC perms). Confirmed `git push` is ASK by design = the right gate locus, NOT `export *`.
 - **future application**: scripting token-authed git/curl writes under CC perms → inline env (never `export`), token in `Authorization` header (curl `-H`, git `GIT_CONFIG_*` extraHeader), keep `git push` on ASK as the approval. Tool-call denied unexpectedly → read `permissions.deny` for an over-broad prefix rule (`export *`, `env`, `printenv`) catching a false positive BEFORE concluding the op itself is blocked.

+## LRN-070 — clean-tree-gated migration + a dirty submodule: diagnose pointer-vs-content, ignore=dirty not blind reset
+- **pattern**: an op gated on a clean tree (`git status --porcelain`) is blocked by a submodule showing ` M`. FIRST distinguish: (a) **pointer move** — gitlink (HEAD) ≠ submodule HEAD → resettable via `git submodule update`/`checkout`; (b) **dirty content** — gitlink UNCHANGED, files modified INSIDE the submodule → a local edit. For an intentional local edit, `checkout --`/`submodule update` correctly REFUSE to discard it, and a blind "reset" would DESTROY it. Exclude it non-destructively: `git config submodule.<name>.ignore dirty` (local `.git/config`) → status stops reporting the submodule's dirty content, gate passes, edit preserved. Commit it to `.gitmodules` to share the ignore across clones.
+- **context**: claude gitflow self-migration. `skills-external/gstack` showed ` M`; gitlink `070722a` == submodule HEAD `070722a` (NOT a pointer move), 2 tracked-modified files (`bun.lock`+`package.json`) = the [[BLK-008]] Playwright 1.61 bump (Ubuntu 26.04 browser). The planned "reset" (D2) would have discarded the browser fix; `submodule.skills-external/gstack.ignore=dirty` cleared the tree for `migrate_local`, bump intact.
+- **future application**: any clean-tree-gated op (migrate/release/bisect) on a superproject with a submodule carrying intentional local edits → diagnose pointer-vs-content FIRST (compare gitlink to submodule HEAD); for content, `submodule.<name>.ignore=dirty`, never a blind reset. Cross-ref [[BLK-008]] (gstack -dirty by design).
